    Our experience at Bistro Kai was unforgettable. We ordered the Maryland chicken, brussel sprouts and matcha tiramisu. Everything was cooked and made to perfection. Would definitely go back to try more things on the menu.

    This is a not so hidden gem in the Chatswood precinct. Although it is on the main road (Victoria Ave) once you step inside you don't know where you are. They have done a great job making the ambience welcoming and warm and the service is friendly and welcoming. Th food, the cocktails and the staff are all excellent.

    Bistro Kai is probably the closest you will come to fine dining in Chatswood without any of the pretentiousness. The decor is comfortable and quite spacious and the service is not intrusive but friendly and helpful. The food is exceptionally good - we tried the octopus which was so very tender and well seasoned, the softest and tastiest sourdough from Cherrymoon Bakery that was toasted and served with a whipped Japanese style butter, the roasted brussel sprouts, the most tender wagyu beef short rib, a delicious chicken maryland with crisp skin and tender meat resting on mashed potato and an amazing abalone gravy (an amazing combo you should try) and their famous cheeseburger which was wonderful as usual. Paired with perfectly balanced creative cocktails, with the Pandan and Ube Irish Coffee and the Chonky Charlie Chaplin a particular standout. Very sad that their iconic tiramisu is not on the menu at the moment but hopefully will see a revival sometime soon! It is not cheap but not the most expensive either - our lunch came to $110pp including 2 alcoholic drinks each and 2 courses. But the food was exceptional and well worth the price. Definitely would recommend!
